Acer eRecovery Management

Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility with the need for recovery disks provided by the manufacturer. The Acer eRecovery Management utility occupies space in a hidden partition on the system’s HDD. Be default, user-created backups are stored on D:\ drive. Acer eRecovery Management provides:

•Password protection

•Recovery of applications and drives

•Image or data backup:

•Backup to HDD (set recovery point)

•Backup to CD or DVD

•Image/data recovery tools:

•Recovery from a hidden partition (factory defaults)

•Recovery from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point)

•Recovery from CD or DVD

NOTE: If the computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery Management’s “System backup to optical disk” feature to burn a backup image to CD or DVD. To ensure the best results when recovering the system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals (except external Acer ODD, if equipped), including the Acer ezDock.
